Specification of Letters Patent.

messed m1. 5-, room Application filed April 12, 1907. Serial No. 337,896.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, WILLIAM HU IPHRY PERRIN, of New Liskeard, in the district of Nipissing, Province of Ontario, Dominion of Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shocking Attachments for Binders, of which the following is a specification,

My invention relates to improvements in shocking attachments for binders and the objects of my invention, are to devise certain improvements in the. shocking attachments invented by me and for which I have obtained United States Patent No. 806,283, dated December 5th, 1905. whereby the operation of the device may be rendered more simple and efiicient, and it consists essentially of the in'iprovements hereinafter specifically described in detail and set forth in. the accompanying specification and claims.

In the drav ings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the side portion of a grain binder of any ordinary construction. showing my attachn'ient in place. Fig. 2 is asectional view of the revolving part of the mechanism of the shaft upon which they revolve." Fig. 3 shows an enlarged side view of the means for following the sheaf after it leaves the table binder. Fig. 4 shoe. s a perspective detail of the means for raising and lowering the forks.

In. the drawings, like letters and figures of reference indicate corresponding parts in each figure.

Referring to the drawings, a is the table of the binder down which the grain passes while it is being formed into sheaves and tied by the knotting mechanism partially show 11 at b.

c is the shaft supportedby the standard d from the binder and which rality of forkse by means of doublc armsf and g. The upper arms ofeach pair are fixed from vertical moven'ient while the lower arms are adapted to be intermittently lowered, thus causing the forks a to suing from a substantially horizontal position to a vertical position, dropping the sheaf It at the same time. The mechanism for operating these double arms in the present application has been improved on, the mechanism l now employ to intermittently lower these] arms consisting of a plate 71 vertically movable on the shaft and having projecting arms 3' on pivoted. The plate 41 rests on thebracket I: having two arms I and m thereon, which are turned downwardly and hear on the. face of the plate m which is certain part of the revolution. arms are raised out of these slots by means platform prior to its supports a pluhas'two slots and p placed diametrically opposite to each other therein and into which the arms Z and m are adapted to drop at a The said of cam plates 9 and 1' formed integral with the side of the slots and onwhich the armsl and m run. 7 The remaining part of the mach-'- end of the sheaf droplping off the end of the the forks e. To accomplish this, I provide a follower swhich consists of a vertically movable standard it. supported by rollers 'v andwwhich are j ournaled in brackets m andy secured to theplate 2 attached to the platfrfii c. The top of the standard t. is curved outwardly at 3, as shown, and adapted to fit around the end of the sheaf as it comes from the discharging. mechanism. Secured to the top of the standard is a latch 4, having a tooth 5 protruding through the slot the standard and adapted to normally engage the sheafand prevent it from slipping off the edge.' 'I he back portion6 of thislatch is preferably made of spring metal and secured to the standard at 7; means are provided for withdrawing the tooth 5, the means I show comprising a crank 8, pivoted to lugs 9'on the standard and have projecting portions 10 fitting beneath the spring back 6 and adapted to move the same outwardly when the lever 8 is tilted. 'I he end of the lever 8 is connected by the cord 11 to the plate 2, whereby when the follower has beenraiscd a given amount, the cord will become taut and operate the latch to withdraw the tooth 5.

The operation of the device is substantially described in my earlier patent, the forks e successively catching the sheaves as they are discharged. In place, however, of relyingon the weight of the sheaves in their central position to discharge them, the discharge is made positive by the mechanism described and when the arms Z and m sink into the slots 0 and p the forks c are all moved into a substantially vertical position as shown in Fig. 2, dropping the sheaves in a single shock. "lhe follower 8 slides upwardly with the end of the sheaf as it leaves the binder platform until it reaches its uppermost position when the latch 4 is autoeing caught on one of matically released, leaving the shock free when it is caught and carried away by one of the forks e. 'lhe slots in the plate end are so designed that when all the forks have received their sheaf the arms I and m will come opposite the slots and dro releasing the sheaves whichwill fall togetlier.

It will be readily understood that While my invention. has been described herein with great particularity of detail, yet in carrying out theconstruction of the invention certain changes may be made in the details without de arting from the spirit'of my invention.

6 hat I claim as my invcntionis:

1. In a sheaf shocker, the combination with the discharging mechanism of a slidable member adapted to follow the sheaf, a tooth on said sliding member adapted to engage the sheaf, and means for withdrawing the tooth at a determined point.

2. In a sheaf shocker, the combination with the discharging mechanism and the binder platform, of an upwardly slidable member adapted to engage and follow the sheaf.

3. In a sheaf shocker the combination with the binder platform, of a member slid- 4-. In a sheaf shocker, the combination with the binder platform, of a vertically slidable member at the end of the platform, a detent device at the upper end of the memupper end, a latch on the upper end of the standard and having a tooth protruding on the inner side of the same and means operated by the vertical movement of the standard for releasing the latch, as and for the purpose specified.

6. In a sheaf shocker, the combination with the binder platform, of a plate secured to the edge of the same, a plurality of brackets secured to the plate, rollers in the brackets, a vertically extending standard sup- 1:,

poi-ted on the rollers and having a curved upper end, a tooth projecting over the inner side of the top of the standard, a spring secured at one end to the same and connected at its opposite end to the standard, a crank 3-;

pivoted to the standard for moving the spring outwardly, a fixed support and a cord extending from. the crank to the said fixed support, as and for the purpose specified.
